Sample “i” statements for Critical Thinking
❏ I can show if I like something or not. ❏ I can identify criteria that I can use to analyze evidence. ❏ I can analyze evidence from different perspectives. ❏ I can reflect on and evaluate my thinking, products, and actions. ❏ I can analyze my own assumptions and beliefs and consider views that do not fit with them
❏ I can explore materials and actions. ❏ I can ask open-ended questions and gather information. ❏ I can consider more than one way to proceed in an investigation. ❏ I can evaluate the credibility of sources of information. ❏ I can tell the difference between facts and interpretations, opinions, or judgments.
❏ I can experiment with different ways of doing things. ❏ I can develop criteria for evaluating design options. ❏ I can monitor my progress and adjust my actions to make sure I achieve what I want. ❏ I can make choices that will help me create my intended impact on an audience or situation.
What is Critical Thinking?
Tasks that require critical thinking:
Critical thinking is:
Reflection / Self Assessment
Once a week, we will be asking you to keep track of your learning by either reflecting on the week or self-assessing your progress.

Location: Human Body 101 LAB
Instructors Kersch, Hood and Crompton discuss a new patient. Watch while the team problem solves together to decide the body systems and organs affected. The instructors hope that through research and critical thinking that they will be able to diagnose the patient and present their findings.

Criteria For Presentation
Slide 1: -quick introduction of group members -introduce your case study (give a summary of background information and symptoms)
Slide 2: -explain the systems affected by this disease/illness. (we believe the systems affected are…. because…)-explain the organs affected (because the ____ system is affected, this means the organs...are compromised because…)-use your diagram/images to show where the organs are in the body Slide 3: -introduce your main idea for diagnosis- we think the patient has/is suffering from ______ because...
Slide 4:-give a detailed explanation of HOW you came to your conclusion, take the expert panel through your thought process (we researched this because… this lead us to this disease… then we decided to further research…)
Slide 5:-explain how you can test for this disease/illness-what is your plan if your test comes back negative, what is your next step to help your patient? -list some other diseases/illnesses you’ll test for if your main idea isn’t correct
Slide 6: conclude presentation, thank the panel for listening
